About
Over the course of five days, the participants, who were selected through an open call, immersed themselves in the everyday life of the kampung, to discover the many ingenuities hidden under the seemingly mundane facade of this dense inner-city urban locality. The workshop was a critical engagement into the settled stories of places, practices, things, events and history of the neighbourhood, in collaboration with the residents. The shared experience from this immersion and research are necessarily dynamic, incomplete, and even random, and underscore the kampung as a ‘living archive’ (Stuart Hall, 2001).  

The eight artistic projects, or creative responses, initiated at this workshop will culminate in a co-produced exhibition to be held on location in kampung Plampitan, later in May 2024.
